"I needed a replacement attic fan, used Homeadvisor to match me to Absolute Electric. They called the morning of the appointment and showed up right at the start of the appointment window, which was helpful since I needed to go to work. They did the work very professionally and caused no mess, then demonstrated the fan worked. Was a stress free experience and a good value for the attic fan based on prices at home improvement stores for the fan. Would highly recommend them as a good firm."
"Installed five ceiling fans and three light fixtures. Expert installation , highest quality work by master electrician. Professional, courteous service at very fair prices. Highly recommend"
"Fox Trail Electric provided us with excellent professional diagnostics and service. Our pool pump disconnect blew when we opened our pool, and we contacted three companies for repair estimates. Not only was Fox Trail the best estimate, Brendan and Moses very quickly found the source of the problems that the other two companies missed; this gave us immediate confidence in their capabilities. They arrived just before the appointment time for the repair and quickly got to work. They encountered and diagnosed a quirk with the pool equipment being wired from separate meter services (main house and outbuilding) and installed the correct GFCI breaker for the wiring to the pool heater, which our home warranty company failed to resolve. They installed a mounting post and weather-resistant timer and disconnect for the pool pump and organized and buried the previously messy, tangled, above-ground equipment ground wires that are no longer a tripping hazard. Brendan and Moses worked very well together and were very neat - nothing out of place when they left. Top-notch problem-solving, and we will be calling them again for other work. I highly recommend Fox Trail Electric."

"I was looking for someone to install two newly purchased Google Nest floodlight cameras and requested quotes from about seven different contractors. After comparing my options, I decided to move forward with Mr. Deepak because his pricing was by far the most reasonable. He came out, completed the installation exactly where and how we wanted it, was respectful and professional throughout the entire process, and got the job done without any unnecessary complications. I’ve already saved Mr. Deepak’s number and will absolutely contact him again for any future electrical projects. Fair pricing, good work, and a straightforward experience from start to finish. Five stars. Highly recommend!"
"Received a call from Parrish Services. We spoke for almost 30 minutes on the phone plus using a video app I was able to stream to him my home heating system. Based on my situation and the current installed oil heating system I would be wasting money trying to change to a new electric system. He indicated the system installed was a top of the line efficient system. After the conversation I let him know I appreciated his honesty and input. That input included having to upgrade electrical panel etc.. Bottom line.. Found Parrish to be honest, bottom line answers yet willing to work with you on what you want done. Thanks Parrish .Services..."
"Carlo and his assistant were outstanding. Very professional, courteous, polite, well mannered. Carlo explained everything very clearly before we committed to proceeding with the work. I only called for a quote, and he did not try to pressure me to get the work done right there and then. I asked him to do it immediately after he told me what needs to happen. Once I did, he clarified several times to ensure I understood what the quote covers and what it does not cover. He completed the work of installing a light fixture very quickly and ensured every step of the way that I was satisfied with the height, the location, and the function of it. He even explained how this light that I chose would fail in future and what needs to be done if that happens. He didn't try to upsell any services or products and actually gave me advice on saving money when he could have just as well spent some time and charge me unnecessarily (I had an issue of flashing light bulbs in a yard lamp). Because of his integrity and honesty I will be calling this company every time I have a need for any work in future!!!"
Ceiling fans require periodic cleaning of blades to avoid dust accumulation, checking screws and connections for firmness, and occasional lubrication for components, keeping the fan running smoothly and quietly over time.
Ceiling fans are very often worth the investment because they improve comfort in your living space and help reduce utility bills. In the late spring and early fall—and even in the summer in some areas—homeowners with ceiling fans can often get away with open windows and fans, which can cut down on cooling bills and also reduce wear and tear on the HVAC system. Over time, ceiling fans can pay for themselves by saving you money on electric bills and air conditioner repair and maintenance.
The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example:
Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.
Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.
Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.
Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
Essential tools for ceiling fan installation include a ladder, screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a circuit tester. If the ceiling is angled or features unique configurations, ensure the availability of a compatible mounting bracket.
For a 12x12 room, a fan between 36" and 50" will work, as it falls in the range for spaces up to 144 square feet. These size fans provide adequate air circulation and ensure a comfortable environment without being overpowering. Even better, they come in a broad range of styles, offering aesthetics and functionality, making them suitable choices for maintaining an ideal room temperature and enhancing overall comfort.
